Aerospike Database versions before 5.1.0.3 permitted user-defined functions (UDF) to call the `os.execute` Lua function. This module creates a UDF utilising this function to execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the user running the Aerospike service. This module does not support authentication; however Aerospike Database Community Edition does not enable authentication by default. This module has been tested successfully on Ubuntu with Aerospike Database Community Edition versions 4.9.0.5, 4.9.0.11 and 5.0.0.10.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/misc/aerospike_database_udf_cmd_exec
msf exploit(aerospike_database_udf_cmd_exec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(aerospike_database_udf_cmd_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(aerospike_database_udf_cmd_exec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(aerospike_database_udf_cmd_exec) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
